The IP of "Remote host" under "History" is always the docker default gateway IP address

Noticed that for the docker image that the IP address of the remote host that is logged under history is always the internal docker default gateway IP.

Try:

1. Set up a reverse proxy in front of the Guacamole container to provide 
SSL/TLS (either Apache or Nginx - whichever you prefer), if you have not 
already done so.

2. Make sure to configure your reverse proxy to send the IP address of 
the client with the "X-Forwarded-For" header. This is shown in the 
examples in the documentation.

3. Configure the Guacamole container to trust the "X-Forwarded-For" 
header it receives from your reverse proxy by setting the 
"REMOTE_IP_VALVE_ENABLED" environment variable to "true".

See:

* https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/reverse-proxy.html
* 
https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-docker.html#running-guacamole-behind-a-proxy

There is otherwise no way for a Docker container to see the IP address 
of the connected client unless the container is not running behind a 
gateway at all.

Hi all.

I've also had this problem for some time. How could I register the IP of
the client and not the gateway?

Thanks
Henri.
